Summer 2025 is shaping up to be an anime lover’s dream. With major sequels returning and fan-favorite stories continuing, this season’s lineup promises high-stakes action, heart, and even a little romance. Whether you’re into kaiju battles or ghost-hunting chaos, here are the Top 5 Most Anticipated Anime of Summer 2025 you shouldn’t miss.

Dandadan Season 2

After a wild debut that fused aliens, ghosts, psychic powers, and chaotic comedy, Dandadan is back for more supernatural madness. Season 2 picks up right where we left off, with Momo and Okarun diving deeper into bizarre paranormal encounters—and their growing relationship. Studio Science SARU’s vibrant, kinetic animation style continues to elevate every scene, making this series one of the most unique and unpredictable anime this summer.

Kaiju No. 8 Season 2

Season 1 left us with a ton of unanswered questions—and now Kaiju No. 8 is ready to raise the stakes. As Kafka Hibino embraces his monstrous transformation, the Defense Force faces more powerful kaiju threats and internal challenges. With a gritty aesthetic, strong character arcs, and cinematic fight choreography, this series continues to merge monster-hunting action with deep emotional beats. Expect bigger battles—and even bigger kaiju—in Season 2.

The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4

Naofumi’s journey as the Shield Hero continues into a fourth season, and fans are eager to see what’s next. With new worlds, allies, and threats on the horizon, the stakes are higher than ever. Shield Hero has seen its ups and downs, but longtime fans are hoping Season 4 delivers on the promise of epic fantasy, character redemption, and political intrigue. It’s a pivotal season for the series—and possibly its best chance to return to its former glory.

Sakamoto Days Part 2

The coolest ex-hitman in anime is back. Sakamoto Days returns with Part 2, and it’s packing more action, comedy, and heart than ever. Sakamoto’s double life balancing family life and deadly missions becomes even more intense as new assassins enter the fray. With slick animation and high-octane fight scenes, this series is quickly becoming a must-watch for fans of smart action and likable antiheroes. Think John Wick meets Gintama—but with a dad bod.

Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 4

Yes, it’s back—and so is the drama. Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 4 returns with more romantic tension, emotional growth (hopefully), and everyone’s favorite complicated relationships. While the series has its critics, it still pulls a loyal fanbase invested in Kazuya and Chizuru’s slow-burn connection. Whether you’re here for the romance, the chaos, or just to see what new curveballs come next, this season promises more of the messy charm fans love.
